Complete 2 round draft v 1.0

ROUND ONE
***TRADE***Tampa Bay trades their 1st (#3), 2nd (#42) and 2011 5th round pick to St. Louis for their 1st (#1).

1. Tampa Bay (via trade) --- Ndamukong Suh (DT) --- Nebraska
Suh will continue to get hyped up, and the Bucs will buy into it. In the end, they’ll feel like Suh is the man they need so they go ahead and make the trade. With this selection, they begin remaking their famous Tampa-2 defense, which needs a strong DT.
2. Detroit --- Gerald McCoy (DT) --- Oklahoma
The Lions dreams of drafting Suh come crashing down once the Bucs-Rams trade is announced. Instead they have to “settle” for McCoy, who is a perfect fit for their system and a solid DT in his own right.
3. St. Louis (via trade) --- Jimmy Clausen (QB) --- Notre Dame
This pick will not be popular among Ram’s fans, but in the end this will be the man Spag’s ends up picking. I believe after the interviews and private workouts that Spag’s will see a franchise QB in Clausen. Now that the QB situation is resolved, it’s time to give him some weapons…
4. Washington --- Anthony Davis (LT) --- Rutgers
Anthony Davis? Don’t you mean Russell Okung?! Nope you read it right, I think that after a massive showing at the combine that Davis will slip past Okung to the #1 LT spot on some teams draft boards.

***TRADE***Buffalo trades their 1st (#9) and 3rd (#72) to Kansas City for their 1st (#5).

5. Buffalo (via trade) --- Sam Bradford (QB) --- Oklahoma
With Seattle potentially looking to pick up a QB of the future, the Bills pull the trigger and trade up to snatch Bradford. They now have their franchise signal-caller.
6. Seattle --- Russell Okung (LT) --- Oklahoma St.
With both QB’s off the board the Seahawks could go several different ways here. In the end, I think they’ll decide to upgrade their offensive line so that their future QB will be able to stay upright. With this pick they get a solid franchise LT.
7. Cleveland --- Eric Berry (S) --- Tennessee
The Browns desperately need some help in their secondary. They could use a shut-down corner, but it’s too hard to pass up on Berry, so instead they get a playmaking safety in the clone of Ed Reed.
8. Oakland --- Bruce Campbell (LT) --- Maryland
This would be the logical pick because their O-Line needs some major help. However, as we all know…we don’t know who Davis will end up picking here.
9. Kansas City (via trade) --- Rolando McClain (LB) --- Alabama
The Chief’s trade back and still manage to land McClain who is a playmaker, and a leader on defense.
10. Jacksonville --- Derrick Morgan (DE) --- Georgia Tech
Very easy pick for the Jaguars, they desperately need some help getting to the opposing QB.

***TRADE***Tennessee trades their 1st (#16) and 3rd (#78) to Denver for their 1st (#11).

11. Tennessee (via trade) --- Joe Haden (CB) --- Florida
With Haden still on the board Tennessee and Atlanta will try and trade up. In the end, Tennessee will win…but only because trading with Atlanta will move Denver too far back.
12. Miami --- Sergio Kindle (DE/OLB) --- Texas
A lot of people think this pick will be Bryant, however, Parcells doesn’t like to draft WR’s in the 1st round. Instead, he likes to spend his picks on pass-rushing LB’s.
13. San Francisco --- Earl Thomas (S) --- Texas
Gives an immediate upgrade to the ***** secondary; he’s a ball-hawking safety.
14. Seattle --- Brian Price (DT) --- UCLA
Seattle could go any number of ways, but I think they’ll pick up a solid DT to help them out on defense. They have a great LB corps, and hopefully Price will help free them up a bit.
15. New York Giants --- Dan Williams (DT) --- Tennessee
This pick gives them a run-stuffing DT, his size will allow him to take up a lot of room.
16. Denver (via trade) --- Mike Iupati (OG) --- Idaho
Had Denver traded with Atlanta, then Pittsburgh would have been able to snag Iupati. With this pick they get an extremely strong guard who can open up some holes for the running game.
17. San Francisco --- Trent Williams (RT) --- Oklahoma
Williams is one of the better offensive tackles in the draft and should allow Smith to have some more time in the pocket.
18. Pittsburgh --- Bryan Bulaga (LT) --- Iowa
The Steelers need an upgrade on the offensive line…Bulaga will allow Big Ben to have more time in the pocket.
19. Atlanta --- Brandon Graham (DE/OLB) --- Michigan
The Falcons need help on the D-Line and in the Linebacking corps. Graham has the potential to fill in at either of those two spots, and because of his Senior Bowl outing he should be flying up the draft boards.
***TRADE***Baltimore trades their 1st (#25) and 2011 3rd to Houston for their 1st (#20).

20. Baltimore (via trade) --- Dez Bryant (WR) --- Oklahoma St.
Baltimore could really use a good target for Flacco to throw to, and somehow Bryant is still on the board. Feeling the pressure from the Bengals, they trade up to grab Bryant before the Bengals have a chance to.
21. Cincinnati --- Jermaine Gresham (TE) --- Oklahoma
With Bryant just barely failing to drop to them, they go ahead and take the next best receiving option in the draft. Gresham gives Palmer a new kind of target, and fills a need.
22. New England --- Jerry Hughes (DE/OLB) --- TCU
Hughes is a great 3-4 OLB, and will help the Pats pass-rushing attack.
23. Green Bay --- Charles Brown (LT) --- Southern California
Their O-Line was getting torn apart for most of the season and with this pick they give Rodgers a solid LT that he can rely on.
24. Philadelphia --- Everson Griffen (DE) --- Georgia Tech
Philly could go several different ways, but I think they’ll end up focusing on the defense. With this pick, Griffen will help increase their pass-rush.
25. Houston --- Kyle Wilson (CB) --- Boise State
They could have chosen Wilson at #20, but he’s a better value here. He’ll bring a much needed upgrade to the Texan’s secondary.
26. Arizona --- Sean Weatherspoon (OLB) --- Missouri
The Cards manage to land one of the best LB’s in the draft, and a true leader at that.
27. Dallas --- Chad Jones (S) --- LSU
I can see his stock rising quite a bit after the combine, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Cowboys go after him…if Iupati is off the board.
28. San Diego --- C.J. Spiller (RB) --- Clemson
Spiller’s free-fall finally ends here. With LT getting old, the Chargers bring in a fresh set of legs.
29. New York Jets --- Golden Tate (WR) --- Notre Dame
Tate is a speedy wide receiver who should give Sanchez a good target to throw to.
30. Minnesota --- Jared Odrick (DT) --- Penn State
With one of the Williams potentially retiring, they could use a replacement at this position. Even if William doesn’t retire, it’s nice to get a little youth back at the position.
31. Indianapolis --- Patrick Robinson (CB) --- Florida State
Could see them going OT here (such as Ducasse), but I think they’ll end up going with a defensive back.
32. New Orleans --- Navorro Bowman (OLB) --- Penn State
They were hoping that Weatherspoon was going to fall to them, but instead they manage to land a solid LB in Bowman.

65. St. Louis --- Geno Atkins (DT) --- Georgia
This might be a little high for Atkins, but I believe after his great showing at the Senior Bowl that he’ll be moving up some teams draft boards. Atkins has great penetration skills.

Re: Complete 2 round draft v 1.0

If we take a trade and go QB in the first, then I'd hope we'd take a top DE or LB with our next pick I'd grab Dunlap or Pierre-Paul in a heart-beat at the top of two. Then why not grab D. Thomas at WR with our other second, or even at the top of 3 if you have him falling that far. I think he's a pretty daunting receiver to cover and could make for an incredible target with some work in camp. Still love Arthur Jones though!

Re: Complete 2 round draft v 1.0

Alexander is a projected 3rd/4th round draft pick, he would be a huge reach in the 2nd. He's also been plagued by injuries, although I will admit he is very good. As for Pierre-Paul, I'm not too hot on him...he had one good season and is being hyped up a lot. I think he has a lot of bust potential.

Dunlap is a possiblity, Thomas is still very raw but he is an option.

So in the 2nd so far we have:
- Carlos Dunlap DE
- Arrelious Benn WR
- Demaryius Thomas WR
